“I love fostering a sense of spiritual heritage and ‘response-ability’—through an increased understanding of the Jewish roots of Christian faith, a grasp of church history that appreciates the interrelatedness of Judaism and Christianity, a Hebraic approach to Scripture that accurately communicates the mission of God for world redemption, and a Jewish-friendly presentation of the gospel.” — Lois Olena
